The purpose of this assignment is to identify and apply OSCM concepts/tools to solve problems in managing global supply chains. Students will be assigned to groups of 3 members randomly by the instructor.
As a team, you are expected to find an interesting OSCM problem from the real business world, think about how you can apply the OSCM concepts/tools that you learn in this course to solve the problem, and write up a report based on your analysis.
More specifically, each group should:
- Find a problem in managing operations and supply chains from the real business world (from work or from any business articles/cases)
- Identify specific OSCM concepts/tools that can be applied to the problem
- Apply an appropriate OSCM concept/tool or a set of appropriate OSCM concepts/tools to propose a solution to the problem
- Analyze the expected results that may be obtained when the solution is implemented.
